Creaky and Quirky, but in a Good Way

We stayed there a couplpe nights during our kids' sring break so they could visit friends in the area. The rooms were large with mismatched furniture, clean, and well looked after. No effort has been made to modernize the 1920's look and feel, but the place certainly has style. I would highly recommenda stay here with the only caveat being the frequent train traffic at all hours. I thought it was kind of cool but it drove my wife kind of nuts. Oh, and the lady running the Cafe Renee next door is a loon. beware when you go there to use the food voucher you pick up at the front desk.More

Thanks so much for your four star review. Yes, we are absolutely rooted in the past--the Hotel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places! And the trains continue to be a key element in downtown WRJ--If you are sensitive to the noise of the trains, we have many room options from which to choose, including rooms on the back side of the Hotel, away from the trains.

Thanks for staying with us--we hope you are able to come visit us again!

As other reviewers have stated, the Coolidge is very old. The floors creak, which I like. Everything is well maintained and extremely clean. The decor is outdated and very plain. The fixtures, carpets, and furniture are from another era- but again very well maintained. I don’t know if I would stay here again but it is a great value. We had no issues with noise and did not hear any trains.

Individual, quirky Vermont hotel. Not a cookie cutter place. Not a chain. Clean and comfy. A little out of date, but very pleasant. Only one elevator, which is very slow. Victorian in style. If you like sterile, corporate hotels, this will not suit, but if you like non-homogenized Americana, this will be the place for you.

The Hotel Coolidge was absolutely amazing! Such a unique piece of history and a great old timey (yet clean and up to date) atmosphere. We received a voucher for a cafe next door which had delicious and quick cheap eats. I loved walking around the town and watching the train go by (which I couldn't hear from my room) and there is parking as well. I highly recommend it and would go back in a heart beat.

Stayed on First Friday.Hotel was clean neat and historical. Linked room so everyone had their own double bed. Fridge but microwave would have been nice even if in lobby. 6 Staff was kind and helpful. Food and shops galore walking distance. Will stay for next clinic.

Thanks so much for your glowing five-star review. So glad that we kept you comfortable, and that you had the opportunity to explore historic White River Junction. We look forward to your next stay with us!

The Hotel Coolidge is a remnant of a different time and shows some of its age. However, White River Junction and Lebanon, NH are experiencing rebirths and it is hoped that the Hotel Coolidge will be part of the upswing. The staff is very friendly, the hotel is a charmingly quirky, and the rooms are very clean. AND the price is great. A really good value close to much of the Upper Valley

Room tip: choose an inner room if noise is a factor

Thanks so much for your four star review. The Hotel Coolidge, as a cornerstone institution in downtown WRJ, is an integral part of the renaissance that the area has seen in the past 25 years or so. The downtown has numerous great shops, stores, restaurants, the Briggs Opera House, Northern Stage, a pop-up local vendors market at Newberry Market on Thursdays--a great place to stay for a night or a week! Thanks for staying with us, and for taking the time to write a review!
